About this place
A small space kept by one curious person.
Northline is a personal notebook for ideas that benefit from a little more room than a bookmark and a little less ceremony than an article.
It is intentionally simple: no tracking, no feed algorithm, and no urgent reason to return. New entries appear when they are ready.
